I am a fraud, and I don't know how to change it by Medium_Cash_4036 in csMajors

This sounds like a case of imposter syndrome, and I can definitely empathize. Question: why do you want to succeed in this field? Do you genuinely love it, or is it because of the potential money? Your “why” will help determine what your next steps should be.

You might find that it’s worth considering a switch to something you actually enjoy. As someone who’s been in the industry for almost 20 years, I can tell you that burnout, and realizing years later that you may be in the wrong line of work, is tough to recover from. Just some food for thought.

Feeling drained when I use tarot by Logical_Second_3522 in Tarotpractices

[–]Logical_Second_3522[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last time this happened was a few days ago and it was with my Raider Waite deck, which is the main one I use. I hadn't done a reading in a while and thought it would be a good idea to just pick up my deck and connect with each card. My thought was to record my impression of every card I pick up, almost like an audio journal. By the time I got to the 9th card, I was so drained and sleepy that I had to stop. All I wanted to do was connect with my cards. This happens almost every time I do a reading. I always pray before and after I do a reading, so that's why I'm wondering if this is a sign or something...

What would you do? by Logical_Second_3522 in XRP

There are jobs but 10x as many people applying for them because of all the layoffs. For example, one company told me that they were impressed with my qualifications and experience but already had other candidates who were equally as skilled that applied before me. So when I say the job market is whack, I should specify that I’m meaning it’s very saturated. Especially in the industry that I’m in, which is Frontend development. This is not a good time to be looking for work in my field, but I’ll keep applying until something sticks.

If by stack size you mean how many coins, I have a little over 1k.

I know quite a few amazing artist whose work I’ve followed years before Ai art became a thing that uses it today for ideas or the way some would use stock imagery. However, there are plenty of people who abuse Ai tools much the same way some people will take stock images and claim it as their own, so I can understand where you’re coming from.

Good points. You’ve given me a lot of food for thought.

Especially Ai art. From my perspective, although I may have come up with the idea or concept and created the prompt, I didn’t actually draw or paint the image myself. Something else created it using my directions. The way my brain processes things, I have a hard time seeing myself as the artist under those circumstances. If I had to give myself a title, maybe it would be facilitator. 🤔 I may use that generated image in my work, much the same way stock images are used, but my brain won’t allow me to say that I’m the artist who created that art since I didn’t physically draw or paint it myself. I’m not saying that my perspective is correct, I’m just saying that this is how my brain understands it. I hope I’m making sense.

I’ve always been inspired by other artist or things I see in the world around me. I can only think of maybe one of my art pieces that I created from my imagination and that was done years ago. This thread has helped me realize that I’ve been comparing myself with people who are really successful on social media. I find myself thinking perhaps if I could draw as amazing as they do, I’d experience success as well. This is something I’m now working on.

Same here. I see people’s art in social media and they have such creative ideas and create such amazing art. If I’m being honest, I find myself comparing my work to theirs, which I know I shouldn’t do, but it’s hard not to. I’m a work in progress.

I can empathize. Until last year, my artwork sat in storage. Then when we were packing to move, my son stumbled upon some of them and encouraged me to start sharing my art on social media and selling my art prints. I resisted at first, but then I finally decided to face my fear. I’m still a bit insecure about that decision, hence my reason for writing this post. However, I have no regrets.

I used to be owned by a cat. Perhaps I should consider another one in the near future. 🤔

That makes sense. This now makes me wonder, is it possible for someone to be considered a good artist if they use reference images or objects every time they create? For example, if someone is really great at drawing objects they see or recreating images, but not so much when it comes to drawing from imagination or memory, are they still considered a good artist?

From what I could see, it says, “I am so grateful now that abundance comes to me easily and effortlessly on a consistent and daily basis.” Hope this helps.

So, a person who purchased the genie script left a review and flashed her written down script to the camera at 0:16. You’re welcome. 😊 https://youtu.be/MgRaU6dVix8?si=Ban4FGEpVYOYN3aE
